I believe shared hosting would be the best choice for you right now as it lets you test how much bandwidth and how much strain you would actually place on a server rather than paying for VPS/Dedicated server when you find out you aren't even using 20% of it's capabilities.

Your best bet is to start off with shared hosting since you're just beginning and if you eventually do require some more power, your web host will probably offer some upgrade deals or offers.

As for hosts I've heard good things about HostGator, AnHosting and HostICan.
